Show Notes:
As a published writer, I have made it a point to handle my business with as much integrity, decency, and diplomacy as possible. Of course, there have certainly been times when I have had to stand up for myself and when I have shared my thoughts and opinions about things I don’t like as they relate to my books and events, or when I simply just don’t feel something is being handled in the best way possible. But at the same time, no one is ever going to tell you that I have cursed them out in the midst of any of our conversations or that I have hung up on them whenever speaking to them by phone. I do admit, though, that, over the years, I have definitely had some unfortunate debates with folks in business who don’t believe you should question anything they’re doing wrong or folks who mostly just believe women should know and stay in their places—and that they should just be happy they’re in business at all—still, this is not a reason for you or me to act out in a way that doesn’t represent God. In today’s episode, I share some of my personal experiences and how you, too, can be successful without jeopardizing your faith.
